Is this supposed to make us feel safe. Does this help the prison wardens in their job of controlling prisons who know that the responsible minister is on their side? + the photo above would be ground for resignation in any other country.

The Minister responsible for Justice does not go around hugging prisons – convicted prisoners at that – in the prison yard. Tal-biki … and he’s totally oblivious to the feelings of the victims/families. “Labour – partit tal-kriminali … ħawwad ħalli tkun wieħed minna”

An ex-PN fan, an ex-MP for Labour, and a dishonoured notary public doing time for fraud and abusing of the trust of his clients.

It reminds me of the historic bear-hug between Brezhnev and the East German President of some decades ago.

I know from contacts that criminal-cases lawyers hold that as gospel truth.

It will soon be advertised as evidence of the Minister’s success in instant crime reduction by quoting a drop in the prison population now that he is no longer to actually prevent the incarceration of criminals by his forensic skill..
